of Health clinical trials network database, the optimal combination of chest compression rate was 107 compressions per minute and chest compression depth of 4.7 cm; this finding remained relatively consistent regardless of age, sex, presenting cardiac rhythm, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation adjunct use....
The quality of CPR prior to defibrillation directly affects clinical outcomes. Specifically, longer pre-shock pauses and shallow chest compressions are associated with defibrillation failure. Strategies to correct these deficiencies should be developed and consideration should be made to replacing current-...
Chest stiffness decreased significantly ( p < 0.0001) with an increasing number of compressions performed. Average residual force during decompression was 1.7 ± 1.0 kg, corresponding to an average residual depth of 3 ± 2 mm. In most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims adequate chest ...
An adult computed tomography (CT) study reported that body-mass-index (BMI) could affect the adequacy of chest compression and that obesity was associated with the need for deeper compressions due to relatively larger internal chest cavity sizes.6 The findings may also be relevant in paediatrics,...

As PCM is uncompressed, the file size of the recorded audio is massive. It is possible to compress audio files using lossy or even lossless compression algorithms to retain the fidelity of the audio while reducing the file size. Dolby and DTS are lossy audio compressions which are often used...
Introduction:Adherence to CPR guidelines for chest compressions depth (CCD) is poor. Compressors tend to converge on an individualized depth for each patient.#Aim:Determine the factors affecting CCD in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).#Methods:Patient, event, and EMS characteristics ...
Over the last 50 years, the recommended chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has become faster and deeper, but maintaining deep compressions may be difficult at higher rates. Our study aimed to determine whether adequate compression (chest compression at an appropriate depth and ...
The SN may have value as a functional landmark for chest compression depth in adult CPR. Our findings combined with the simulated one-fourth chest compressions were more consistent with the depth between 50 and 60 mm recommended by the 2015 CPR guidelines....
